Prince Harry's new love interest slammed Donald Trump as 'misogynistic' during a TV interview and threatened to leave America if he becomes president.

Meghan Markle, 35, who stars in legal drama Suits, voiced her strong opposition to the Republican nominee while appearing on the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore on May 4.

Protocol dictates that members of the British Royal family must remain politically impartial.

But the actress - who is not quite in the royal fold yet - tore into Trump, branding him a divisive misogynist.

The Californian native appeared alongside two other guests during a discussion about the presidential race in the political segment of the comedy show.

The Californian actress' months-long affair with Harry was revealed at the weekend

Meghan, who is best known for playing office vamp Rachel Zane in Suits, even claimed that she would leave America for Canada because she was so worried about Trump's candidacy.

'It's really the moment I go, we film Suits in Toronto and I might just stay in Canada,' she said.

'If that is really the reality we are talking about then that is a game changer in terms of how we move in the world here.'

She added that it was 'crazy' that Trump's offensive comments do not have an effect on his supporters. 

'Yes of course Trump is divisive, think about female voters alone, right?

'I think it was in 2012 the Republican Party lost the female vote by 12 points, that is a huge number and with as misogynistic as Trump is, and so vocal about it, that is a huge chunk of it.'

Meghan also went on to say that it would be crazy if disgruntled Sanders supporters refused to get out and vote for Clinton 

The seven minute discussion also included Nightly Show contributors Ricky Velez (left) and Francesca Ramsey (second left)

Meghan continued, 'You are not just voting for a woman if it's Hillary just because she is a woman, but certainly because Trump has made it easy to see that you don't really want that kind of world that he is painting for us.'

The seven minute discussion also included Nightly Show contributors Francesca Ramsey and Ricky Velez, who bizarrely bragged that he would take more drugs than usual on election day, which sent Meghan into a fit of laughter.

The actress went on to discuss whether or not Clinton would need the support of Bernie Sanders and his followers in order to win the election.

At the time of filming, Clinton was still struggling to defeat Sanders, the senator from Vermont, New Hampshire who went up against the former secretary of state and won huge swathes of support among young Democrats seeking a more left-wing alternative to Clinton.  

She said: 'I don't think at this point it is necessary. I think at a certain point it is going to need to happen but do we need to get all hands on deck at this point?

'Hillary is in a really strong position at the moment. Just look at how much she has had in donations for her campaign.

'I think Trump has raised 12 or 20 million, something like that. She has raised 200 and something million from supporters.'

Larry Wilmore's Comedy Central series was cancelled in August. Markle displayed her political knowledge when she was asked whether or not Clinton would need the support of Bernie Sanders and his followers in order to win the election

The day before the show was aired Trump had just ousted Ted Cruz as his main rival in the Republican nomination race and become the presumptive nominee.

Clinton would defeat Sanders to become the Democrat candidate in July.

Trump had mainly used his own funds at that point in the race but has gone on to raise $247.5 million while Clinton has amassed $497.8 million.

Meghan also went on to say that it would be crazy if disgruntled Sanders supporters refused to get out and vote for Clinton.

She added: 'That is crazy to think that it is really going to put people in a position where they don't feel mobilized to vote at all.

'Bernie brought so many, especially young voters, to the table, so how is that going to parlay itself in terms of Hillary?'

It is believed Prince Harry met Meghan while promoting the Invictus games in Canada, which is where she films her television show.

The palace has declined to comment on the romance but Harry is said to be 'besotted' with the American, according to friends.

A number of pictures also emerged last Sunday showing the pair wearing matching bracelets.

MEGHAN BLASTS THE TRUMP TRAIN 

A full transcript of Meghan Markle's words in the seven-minute panel is below.

WILMORE: 'How's this Trump train going to be stopped?'

MARKLE: It's really the moment that I go, we film suits in Toronto and I might just stay in Canada. I mean come on, if that's reality we are talking about, come on, that is a game changer in terms of how we move in the world here. 

'Yes of course Trump is divisive. Think about just female voters alone. I think it was in 2012, the Republican Party lost the female vote by 12 points. That's a huge number and with as misogynistic as trump is and so vocal about it, that's a huge chunk of it.

'You're not just voting for a woman if it's Hillary because she's a woman, but certainly because Trump has made it easy to see that you don't really want that kind of world that he's painting.'

WILMORE: 'Do you think Hillary needs Bernie's [Sanders] support or is it just her against Trump?'

MARKLE: 'I don't think at this point it's necessary, at a certain point yes it's going to have to happen. But like, do we need to get all hands on deck at this point? Hillary is in a really strong position right now, just look at how much she's had in donations for her campaign. Like I think Trump has raised what, like 12, 20 million, something like that. She's raised 200 and something million from supporters.

WILMORE: 'She lost to Bernie last night.'

MARKLE: 'Yes I know, [but] it wasn't that vast, it was close but she still has so much headway.

'That's crazy if you think that [Clinton as Democrat candidate] is really going to put people in a position where they don't feel mobilized to vote at all…Bernie brought so many especially young voters to the table right, so is that going to parlay itself in terms of Hillary? I don't know.'
